Levelled off at 13,000ft and trying to call Ops on 337.750 with no success yet. Just declared aircraft pressurisation issue, maintaining FL130 and routing direct KEPAD on 252.875

Black 01 up on 252.875 will route to KEPAD and climb to FL600 and orbit there to keep in contact with his Ops for a little while longer.

Black 01 “looking for about 30 minutes”, not sure if this is the amount of time required for the adjustments before RTB.

Just seen that over S. Shrops, but there are twin trails; is he dumping fuel?

Black 01 fuel dump complete, asking if Ops can confirm the tower is still open as they usually clock off after he departs in the morning. Around another 30 mins till he’s on the deck.
